Eternal Melody

Yuhi is not the type of person who would lie, so she wonders why he loves her so much.

'I hate lies but I am the biggest liar of all.

I lied to my own heart and to those who care for me for so many years.'

Lies disguise the pain people have to go through. But there are those who lie with a straight face and without restraint too. There are those who lie without any particular meaning. Many people who belong in the elite circle do this, they lie with a straight face just to get something they want.

"Sumire." Yuhi suddenly said. She snapped out of her thoughts and noticed that he extended a fork out with a piece of chicken. i????????rℯ????????． ????o????

Her cheeks coloured. "Uh…" She looked at him awkwardly. "Yuhi, I can eat on my own."

Or rather what is he trying to do when Shin is still around?

She glanced over though and noticed that Shin wore an even more troubled expression on his face. Before she could say anything, a beeping sound comes from his phone. Shin sighed and tossed it toward her.

Incoming call: Kusaji Atsuro

Sumire blinked when she saw the caller ID. Speak of the devil, what type of timing is this? She recalled Soujiro who called not too long ago and stole a glance at Yuhi.

"Can I?"

Yuhi nodded and even clicked the answer button for her. Sumire looked at him with doubtful eyes. Is he actually going to allow her to speak to Atsuro? She always pinned him as the easily jealous type considering how clingy he is with her. Sumire frowned, 'I don't like where this is going.'

Sumire could hear Atsuros voice on the other end, but she did not pick up the phone and instead clicked the red button to stop the call.

Yuhi wrapped his arms around her waist, and nuzzled his face on her head. But Sumire did not want to look at him. After hearing that Atsuro has feelings for her, why is he allowing her to answer the call.

"It seems my future wife made her mind up."

She wanted to roll her eyes and comment on that future wife thing. But Sumire understood his mind set better than anybody. Yuhi is trying to ease the tension and calm her down.

Sumire still felt upset but it was hard to stay mad at someone who was giving her so much attention. Yuhi kept placing kisses on her cheeks, and down her neck. He played with her hands under the table.

She felt very content and at ease. Sumire did not realize that falling in love would be like this. When she was still with Mamoru, she felt distressed all the time and frightened.

Was it because she knew of his illness from the very beginning? She felt restless and could not sleep well at night. It was not until Mamoru reassured her that it would take years before the illness took hold of him did those feelings die down.

But even then it was always there in the back of her mind. In the back of her mind there was something wrong. Something is wrong right now too but she is simply brushing it aside. Sumire turned around and hugged Yuhi tightly. Something might be wrong, but Yuhi is here to hold her.

Yuhi does not say anything and yet he ran his hands down her back to comfort her.

............…

Two hours later

Sumire pondered about several equations in her head before sighing. As she thought , the central transformation formula is still too much for her. Guess wondering about it by myself won't do much good. She takes off her earphones and stands up leaving her desk.

She tip-toed past the now fast asleep Terashima Yuhi. He did his best trying to teach her to the point he fell asleep. Everyone else left for the practical lesson already whilst the two of them had been left behind. Since it's a volunteer lesson, Sumire decided to stay behind.

She didn't think Yuhi would do the same. But then again, even now she is curious about Yuhis academic ability. He does not attend lesson a lot, but he must be smart. He has helped her with her studies in the past.

Then again a lot of time has passed by since then. She proceeded to just leave the classroom and yet Sumire kept looking over at Yuhi. Ah geez!!!

Sumire took her jacket of and wrapped it around him.

Stupid Yuhi, sleeping so fare freely like this.. He really is a fool.

A huge fool and yet her gaze softened when she recalled how he comforted her earlier. Even though she did not say anything,

Why does he still have to care so much about me? It's illogical. But she supposed even something as illogical as this happens for a reason. If that's the case then she supposed she can't complain about it.

Once the brunette was down the hall, she deeply sighed. She really wasn't expecting him to do that. When Asami-san brought up exams, Yuhi suddenly brought up her scores and before she knew it he was tutoring her.

He is such a strange guy. He's always been that way but thinking about it now leaves an odd feeling in her heart.

When Yuhi fell asleep she looked through the workbook Nakura gave her and found herself solving through the questions quite well, until she arrived at one. Though she knew which formula to use, when she actually applied it, it became difficult.

Even if she is considered a genius in terms of education, there are still some things she can't understand on her own. She sighs, that formula really is difficult.

She wonders if Nakara is in his room. When she spotted the sign ' Physics prep room' she knocks on the door. But she did not receive a response. Is he not in?

Sumire knew he had not gone home yet due to their conversation earlier. He said he would be busy for the rest of the day.

She turned the door handle. Oh its open. "Excuse me. Sensei?"

Sumire spots the blue haired teacher by his desk like usual. But the expression on his face was far from the usual. In fact it really did seem as though he was spacing out. "....Sensei?"she repeated.

"Ah."

Sumire strolled over. "Why are you looking so dazed? It's actually quite rare to see you like that. Did something happen?"

Shin's gaze darkened. "There has been a contradiction between theory and reality."

Sumire sighs. "What's this about? Is it a puzzle?"

"Ibuki, Mathematical answers are derived from proving proofs for different theorems and it is in this the beauty of mathematics lies..."

She sighs once more, he is completely out of it. Then again since earlier he appeared troubled by something. Should she have said something? But she was too busy focusing on Yuhi.

"However any device can come up with the answer in seconds.."

Sumire shook her head. "Seriously what are you on about? You really are acting weird today aren't you?"
